Best Minivans for 2024

 

Minivans don't broadcast the same image or impression as SUVs, and after peaking in popularity more than 20 years ago they have experienced shrinking market share. That's unfortunate, because when it comes to combining maximum people-carrying and cargo-space flexibility, minivans remain your best option. Assuming your self-esteem is hearty enough to drive one of these ultra-space-efficient boxes-on-wheels, you'll find the best minivans ranked here. All of them offer family-friendly features like sliding doors, low step-in heights, and second- and third-row seating, along with folding and/or removable second-row seats.

 Most modern minivans can also be upgraded with premium features, like second-row captain's chairs and adaptive cruise control. All of today's minivans utilize front-wheel drive (FWD) and automatic transmissions, though all-wheel drive is available on a few models. That doesn't make them truly off-road capable, but it does offer improved foul-weather confidence.

 

Additional family-hauler features, like a built-in vacuum cleaner or rear-seat camera system, are available, while fully-reclining seats have been introduced to maximum comfort when parked. If you can't afford a new car, used models retain the high flexibility included with every minivan. However, if you're seeking the latest in safety technology, including automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, and lane-keep assist, you'll want to stick with minivans from the last few model years. 

 

Buyers seeking a family-friendly vehicle without sliding doors and a boxy profile should look at our Best Large SUVs or Best Midsize SUVs lists. Those seeking a more premium experience can browse our Best Luxury Large SUVs or Best Luxury Midsize SUVs, most of which feature three rows of seating along with plush cabins and premium features.
